Hello Friends, this is to inform you thatIndian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur presents before you ROBOTIX 09, the annual robotics competition as a part of KSHITIJ 09 (January 29,2009 to February 1,2009) the largest techno-management fest in Asia. With the participation increasing unerringly every year, ROBOTIX has enthralled more than 2500 participants, over 1200 teams and 11 international teams in 2008, the prizes awarded being worth more than rupees two lakhs. This time the potential prize money is over $1000. With unstoppable vigour , ROBOTIX 09 continues its saga of mind-boggling and brain-teasing events and hereby presents you with this year’s problem statements which you can view on www.robotix.in

Among them there are two mechanical events:wEDGED : Make your robot ascend an inclined wedge while checking its skin from two pendulums which will be oscillating over the wedge. And now , let your bot create a spectacle by jumping off the wedge with the help of a swing!The bot thereafter lands on a rectangular block C and runs quickly into its victory zone. Collect all the necessary details from http://www.robotix.in/acc_manual1 and get ready to make your bot create wonders!!!!!

#mEsh: This is the event where you can make your manually controlled bot climb and descend a metallic mesh quite similar to soldiers who are trained to climb various heights in the army. It should also possess the capability to move laterally as finally it has to orient itself in a square demarcated area which can be anywhere along the mesh. So start making your robot ready to perform cool tasks and refer http://www.robotix.in/acc_manual2 for further details.

We hope that everyone of you would like to turn your weirdest immaginations into realityWish to see many of you at the events,
